In this work, a series of novel paraffin inhibitor, polyaminoamide (PAA), was designed and prepared by aminolysis and poly-condensation using soybean oil and canola oil as the raw material. The property of the PAAs as paraffin inhibitor was investigated, the results show several PAA samples are potent in paraffin inhibition, and PPC-2 is the most effective one. Besides, the paraffin crystal mor...

Enrichment of live foods by essential nutrients such as highly unsaturated fatty acids is an important tool for improvement of larval fish quality. In this study, nutritional effects of Artemia urmiana enriched by fish and plant oils on growth, survival rate, body compositions and resistance against thermal, salinity and hypoxic stresses in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss were examined. Six ...

The liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) phase boundaries were determined experimentally for the ternary systems containing refined sunflower oil, methanol, and one of ten potential cosolvents at 308.2 K under atmospheric pressure by using cloud point method. n-Butylamine was found to be one of the best cosolvents, which could substantially enhance the miscibility between the oil and methanol. The L...

This report presents results from the third and final trial of a three–year study by the Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station (AFES) investigating the use of Alaska–grown whole–seed canola in dairy cattle diets. In the Year 1 trial, diets containing 2, 4, and 6 pounds canola per cow per day were compared to a standard diet containing no canola. (Randall, Dofing, and Brainard, 1994). In ...

Due to the limited number of researches conducted globally on heavy metals in edible oil, this study was carried out for analysis and health risk assessment of As and Zn in some brands of canola and soybean oils marketed in Kermanshah City, Iran, in 2015. In this research, 18 samples of three popular brands of edible oil (canola and soybean) in the Iranian market were analyzed for levels of As ...

Two bio-oleogels were investigated. These materials produced with a combination of canola and soybean oil 4, 6, 8, 10% beeswax (by weight). Sensible heat storage capacity, melting parameters, enthalpies investigated by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) test. An ordinary DSC dynamic test was performed. Cycles heating cooling performed, as well tests different rates. According to result...

Ethanol and biodiesel production have become important industries worldwide. For example, ethanol production in the United States has increased exponentially from 6.0 billion liters in 2000 to 49 billion liters in 2010, an increase of 800% (RFA, 2011). Similarly, biodiesel production increased in the U.S. from 424 million liters in 2005 to 1,191 million liters in 2010 (NBB, 2011). These booming...

Cr(III) adsorption by biochars generated from peanut, soybean, canola and rice straws is investigated with batch methods. Adsorption of Cr(III) increased as pH rose from 2.5 to 5.0. Adsorption of Cr(III) led to peak position shifts in the FTIR-PAS spectra of the biochars and made zeta potential values less negative, suggesting the formation of surface complexes between Cr3+ and functional group...
